The 2018 Chardonnay Russian River Valley Buena Tierra Vineyard is smoking good and offers a richer, mouth-filling, medium to full-bodied style as well as notes of almond paste, stone fruits, spicy oak, and chalky minerality. Coming from a site in the Russian River Valley and fermented and aged in 35% new French oak, it’s a serious Chardonnay that should evolve for upwards of a decade. Thomas Rivers Brown is the winemaker. - 93+ points, Jeb Dunnuck 

 

 

We discovered the Buena Tierra vineyard in the Russian River Valley, by meet­ing a vintner, Eugena Keegan, who bought chardonnay grapes from the Sonoma coast. She asked if we'd like to barrel taste the wine. The wine was stunning. She was moving to Oregon, so we approached the owner of Buena Tierra Vine­yards on the Russian River in Sonoma County about buying the grapes. The owners were reluctant because the vines were at the time 35 years old and pro­duction was down. We offered to pay full production price for whatever grapes were harvested, an agreement that continues to this day.
